Overview

qPCR Master Mix is a 2X concentrated solution optimized for TaqMan® probe-based, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). It is intended for use in combination with gene-specific primers (to amplify target cDNA) and fluorogenic-labeled probes that use the 5’ nuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase to produce a fluorescent signal. The rate of accumulation of the fluorescent signal is used to quantify the cDNA, and thereby to determine the amount of mRNA present in the original sample. qPCR Master Mix includes a Hot Start DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2, enhancers, and stabilizers. The qPCR Master Mix Kit also includes ROX Reference Dye as a separate component, making it compatible with both reference dye-dependent and -independent qPCR systems.

Product Applications

This product is designed for use in the following research area(s) as part of the highlighted workflow stage(s). Explore these workflows to learn more about the other products we offer to support each research area.

qPCR Master Mix was either heated at 55°C for 4 or 8 hours or not heated before use in qPCR assays with reference dye and varying amounts of cDNA (50 - 0.08 ng). An overlay of the amplification plots shows no effect on the amplification curves for unheated or heated qPCR Master Mix.
